OTTO Engineering NoizeBarrier Micro

Proudly made in America and powered by a rechargeable battery system, the NoizeBarrier Micro from OTTO is an inside-the-ear protection system capable of providing up to 40 dBs of impulse noise protection.

The dual-mode earplugs provide a comfortable in-ear fit, and the IP67-rated water-resistant housing keeps the unit going in damp conditions. Boosted by wide-bandwidth, low-noise MEMS microphones, the Micro plugs feature one-button activation and provide up to 16 hours of continuous and comfortable use.

The unit’s hearing-enhancement mode amplifies soft sounds for natural and safe sound detection and localization. Maintenance accessories and a charging station are included. MSRP is $452.
